The relationship between public participation willingness, public participation behaviour, and innovative city construction performance

Abstract

Public participation is an effective way to improve the development of innovative cities and high-quality cities. Based on the theory of planned behaviour, this study conducted a questionnaire survey on 934 public participants, and used structural equation model and bootstrapping method to empirically analyse the correlation mechanism between public participation willingness, public participation behaviour and innovative city construction, and innovative city construction performance. Through the survey results of this paper, it is found that the more optimised the government system construction is, the more conducive it is to improve the effectiveness of public participation behaviour, and thus improve the performance of innovative city construction. In addition, this study also puts forward three suggestions to promote the construction of innovative cities: to create an innovative atmosphere and mobilise the enthusiasm of public participation, with a view to improving and strengthening the depth of public participation through various channels.
